An encounter with Jesus Christ !!! What is liturgy?

The primary and indispensible source from which the faithful are to derive the true Christian spirit. What is liturgy? SC 14, emphases added

Ignorance of Liturgy = Ignorance of Christ ! So...

The Liturgy of The Word = The Liturgy of Jesus Christ! * * * * * * * Jesus is present in the Scriptures! If The Word = Jesus, then

The word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

All the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations… which the Christian people… have a right and obligation by reason of their baptism. SC 14, emphases added
